I get what he means. I'm 42 now and was 15 when KTF dropped. That video was the first I'd heard or seen of them, followed by BOR. Then I decided to buy the album and went on to buy everything I could and go to every concert I could attend. And it does make a difference when you became a fan. I for one never got into the first two albums, as that kind of music isn't my cup of tea. I like the big melodies, the smoother, more perfect voice as on the Blaze record going forward, not neccessarily riff rock. And as he said, had Bounce been my first record, it would've been different, as would have been the case with Slippery or NJ.

Are the band what they used to be? Hell no! Has there been decline? From 2011 to 2013 a small one, and after 2013 a really big one, yes. Did I still enjoy myself at the concert in 2019? Yes, I did, although you have to lower your expectations and just sing along and try to have a good time.

The new song has really grown on me, and I can appreciate it for what it is supposed to be and what the subject matter is. Of course it's far from the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's got a bit of honesty and mood about it, which I like.
